Scope and Content Wester Auchavrie farmhouse, Glen Lui, Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire Glen Lui was well populated in the 18th century, with eight townships, until the glen was cleared in 1776 to encourage an increase in deer for hunting. The remains include dwellings, barns, kilns, enclosures, cultivation rigs and sheilings. One of the buildings in this township was built with stone rubble walls and an external earthen embankment, perhaps in the hope that the earth would help to deflect water from the hillside away from the inside of the farmhouse. Mar Lodge estate was part of the medieval Earldom of Mar. The Forest of Mar became a hunting reserve in medieval times and was revived as such in the 19th century, after a period of sheep-farming in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
